>Organizational Complexity. Measures number of developers workong on the module, number of ex-developers that used to work on the module but no longer does, how big a fraction of the organization as a whole that works or has worked on the module, the distance in the organization between the developer and the decision maker, etc.
After one of the early big software project failures (maybe Multics?) there was a quote about software projects going around (maybe John R Pierce?) that "If it can't be done by two people in six months, it can't be done."
One of the functions of good software design is to break the system down into pieces that a couple of people can complete in a reasonable length of time.
